Manchester United remain without Jonny Evans, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw. Manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed Shaw is making progress in his recovery but isn’t ready to feature yet.
Crystal Palace will be missing key attacker Eberechi Eze, who is struggling with an injury sustained against Arsenal in the League Cup. Manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Eze’s absence, stating they want to ensure he’s pain-free before returning. Palace will also be without long-term absentees Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad.
Form Guide
United enter this fixture in great form under Amorim, winning their last three matches. Their last home league outing ended in a 3-1 defeat to Brighton, but they bounced back with a 3-1 win against Southampton thanks to a hat-trick from Amad.
Palace, on the other hand, have had mixed results. They were unbeaten in six before losing 5-1 to Arsenal and falling 2-1 to Brentford. However, they’ve been strong on the road, securing back-to-back 2-0 victories over Leicester City and West Ham before their recent defeat.
